Defined by the 3rd Edition of the Holistic Management Handbook, drought is simply a “Departure from Normal.” Yet, in the same conversation we might not agree on what is considered “normal.” How do extremes in temperature affect ranching and through management are you doing something about it? It is common knowledge that after the dry period of the drought year, there will be less vegetative cover, late summer and fall. What isn’t so common knowledge is after a significant multimonth drought year, it is years 2 and 3 which have less cover even if precipitation returns to normal. In sandy soil rangeland there could be a 20% reduction in cover and in loamy – clayey soil rangeland there could be an 8% reduction in vegetative cover.
